Chu Qianli remained silent, and Feng Jinrui grew angry.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her to a spot not far away.
"Speak quickly, did you really poison my Fourth Imperial Brother?"
"Jin Rui..."
"My Fourth Imperial Brother is so good to you, and you still want to harm him? You've gone too far!"
The anger in Feng Jinrui's eyes flared, seemingly becoming uncontrollable.
Chu Qianli met his gaze, her eyes flickering slightly.
Feng Jinrui closed his eyes, and when he looked at her again, his face was still filled with anger. "Tell me clearly!"
"Jin Rui, listen to me, I didn't do it intentionally..."
"You really laid hands on my Fourth Imperial Brother? He hasn't woken up since last night, is it because he was poisoned by you?"
Feng Jinrui was so angry his body tensed, clearly in a fit of rage.
Chu Qianli winced from his grip, glaring at him fiercely, but her tone was soft. "I really didn't, believe me."
"How can I believe you..."
"It hurts, let go quickly, they've already left!" Chu Qianli kicked him.
Feng Jinrui glanced back. Indeed, Hong Chou had already broken free from the acupoint and left on her own.
The acupoint he had pressed was not heavy, and with Hong Chou's skill, breaking free was not difficult.
Chu Qianli forcefully shook her hand. Seeing this, Feng Jinrui immediately let go.
"Did I really hurt you? I didn't mean to." How could he know a young lady's wrist was so delicate?
He had only squeezed it casually, and now it looked red.
Chu Qianli rubbed her sore wrist and glared at him. "Considering your acting skills have improved, I won't hold it against you. She has a scent, I can smell it. Come on, let's hurry!"
Because she had seen through Hong Chou, no matter how she was threatened or tempted, Chu Qianli would never reveal Ye Qingying's hiding place.
Therefore, Chu Qianli came up with this plan. When she had her by the neck earlier, she had sprinkled her with medicinal powder.
The medicinal scent was very faint, undetectable by most people, and Feng Jinrui couldn't smell it either.
Only by letting her lead the way could she find her master; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rescue her master.
Chu Qianli walked ahead, with Feng Jinrui following behind her.
Although they were acting just now, he still felt a little uneasy.
"You vixen, I know you've forgotten my Fourth Imperial Brother, but my Fourth Imperial Brother truly loves you; he would even give his life for you."
When Chu Qianli didn't reply, he continued, "I also know that you care about your master now, but you can't harm my Fourth Imperial Brother for your master. He will be devastated."
"When did I harm your Fourth Imperial Brother?" Chu Qianli turned back and rolled her eyes at him.
Feng Jinrui said somewhat unwillingly, "Then why did you take Yu Linglong's medicine?"
"Just having it is another path, another possibility. Although she won't believe me, it might be useful in the future..."
Anyway, she had it, and she had the Qiankun Chain. Her space was so vast, she could put anything in it.
Why couldn't she take it? There was no loss.
"Stop asking, hurry up and chase after her. Let's find master first."
"But I can't smell anything... are you sure she went this way?" Should we chase faster?
If they chased too slowly, what if she escaped?
"We can't chase too closely. This woman is very guarded; if we chase too tightly, she'll easily notice."
Yu Linglong didn't trust her, but in reality, who could trust whom?
Hong Chou said she liked Ye Qingying, and Chu Qianli dared not be careless. Who knew if she would eventually harm her master for profit?
Even if she did have some feelings, it was not certain she would betray Yu Linglong for her master.
No one could trust anyone.
She couldn't trust this Hong Chou. To save her master, she could only rely on herself.
"Slow down, I think she's stopped!"
